[E present this revised and enlarged edition of onr 
Illustrated Catalogue to the Trade, confidently 
believing that it will be of service in the selection of 
Mechanical Toys and Novelties which have gained so 
great favor and are now so popular in this country and 
abroad- In style, finish and dress of our figures, we have 
made very many improvements and have added several new 
kinds to our list. In the partiality which has been uni- 
versally shown in favor of onr Toys, and the constantly 
increasing demand for them, we find an incentive to more 
than sustain their reputation in the future. 

The Toys represented in this Catalogue are all mechani- 
cal and are set in motion, on being wound up, by patent 
movements. 

Each Toy is packed in a substantia^ wooden box, and 
will be sent, postpaid, to any address on receipt of price, 
where our goods are not found with dealers. 

Discount rates sent to the trade on application.

T^e }JLe£\&r\i6hl <Bekt<. 




This wonderful toy imitates the movements of a bear, by means 
of clock-work, in the most life-like manner. The bear rises up on 
its hind legs, turns its head from side to side, growls, moves its 
paws, and snaps its jaws together. At intervals it gets down on its 
fore-paws and goes through similar motions. It runs a long time, 
and while going it is difficult to believe it is not alive. It is ele- 
gantly made, and covered with fine fur. The mechanism is so 
strong and perfect, that only the greatest abuse can put it out of 
order. It amuses old as well as young, and is exceedingly attractive 
for a show window. It is conceded to be one of the most ingenious 
toys ever invented, on account of its variety of motion and resem- 
blance to nature. Made in black and white fur. 

Trice, $4.25.

THE DELIGHT OF ALL GIRLS.— A CHARMING TOY, AND 
BEAUTIFULLY FINISHED 

A little girl is seated at a cabinet sewing-machine. On winding 
up the mechanism her feet begin to work the treadle, and the sewing- 
machine begins to sew rapidly; she leans forward, puts the work in 
position, watches it, occasionally rising up and bringing the work up 
to examine it. These movements are repeated for a long time. 
The little figure is elegantly dressed in the latest fashion. It com- 
bines the attractiveness of a beautiful French doll with the interest 
of life-like motion. 

Price, $3.50.

Old "Uyie Tom, 



THE COLORED FIDDLER. 




We consider this toy one of the most comically quaint of anything 
yet made. When seen in motion, laughter is irresistible. The 
old fellow commences the performance by slowly rocking backward 
and forward, as if debating what he should play, then suddenly he 
strikes his "favorite," and rolling his head from side to side, fiddles 
in an ecstacy of enjoyment. Funny as it is, there is something 
almost pathetic in it, too. This toy is well and carefully made, and 
with ordinary care will last for years. 

Price, $2.50

¥he delebfkted ^e^fo fVekchei 4 . 




He stands behind a desk, and slowly straightening himself up, 
turns his head from side to side and gestures vigorously with his 
arm. As he warms to his worjt, he leans forward over the pulpit, 
and shakes his head and hand at the audience, and vigorously 
thumps the desk. The motions are so life-like and comical that one 
almost believes that he is actually speaking. The face and dress 
alone provoke irresistible laughter. He preaches as long as any 
preacher ought to, and stops when he gets through. 

Price, $2.50.

Price, $2.50.

Old &unt Ch>e, 



THE NEGRO WASHERWOMAN. 




Old Aunt Chloe demonstrates that happiness may be found in a 
wash tub as well as in a palace. She is faithful at her toil, and we 
commend her to our young ladies as an artist of no mean pretentions, 
after whom they may pattern if they choose to revive and become 
proficient in one of the lost accomplishments. 

Price, $2.50.

T^e Old >ftu#e. 




This mechanical toy is made to imitate an old negro nurse with 
a child. Her motions are as natural as life. She holds the child in 
her hands and when the mechanism is started, (by being wound) she 
leans backward and forward tossing the child up and down in a 
most surprising manner. This is a very pleasing toy for children 
and is very popular. 

Price, $2.50. 



^ir\d Wing, 



A MELICAN MAN. 




This image, with its shaven head, long queue and quaint look- 
ing dress, gives a striking and life-like picture of a Chinese Laun- 
dryman. Wheh at work, he bends over the tub, and rubs the gar- 
ment which he holds in his hands with a naturalness so perfect he 
might easily be mistaken for a real Celestial. 

Prive, $2.5 O.

"THE HEATHEN CHINESE. 




This piece is similar to the Laundryman represented on the 
opposite page. It shows Ah-Sin with a smoothing iron, putting the 
polish upon a gentleman's linen. The mechanism of these novelties 
is so perfectly made, that only the greatest abuse can put them out 
of order. 

Price, $2.50. 



IO- 



¥he Cok^tef. 




A simple and attractive toy for small boys. Represents a colored 
boy on his sled, which, by means of a mechanical movement, when 
wound up, goes skimming along in a direct line, or in circles, ac- 
cording to the setting of a steering apparatus, attached to the rear of 
the sled. Nicely packed in a neat wooden box. 



Price, $1.00. 



Tl\e f)fuii|rr\ef Soy. 




This is also an attractive piece for small boys. It consists of a 
three-wheeled carriage, which supports the figure of a little man with 
cymbals and drum, which are alternately struck and beaten as the 
wheels revolve by propulsion. 



Price, $1,00,

HJlie&. HANCOCK. 



A QUAINT AND AMUSING TOY. 



A man grinding scissors. When wound up he holds his scissors 
against the rapidly revolving stone, at the same time working the 
treadle with his leg. He stoops over his work, at intervals 
straightens up, and examines the scissors. It is very entertaining. 

Price, $2.0O,

T^e Won}kqy f(i^ &dvo<&te. 




In presenting this advocate to the public, and remembering with 
satisfaction the cordial reception our sterner suffragists and 
preachers have received, and believing in every respect she is their 
equal, we shall hope to receive as many calls for her. This woman 
will not insist upon the last word. Societies supplied with advo- 
cates on short notice. 

Price, $2.50.

T^e Sftij^t kt ^ Wotfk. 




This figure represents an artist in his studio in an effort to surpass 
Raphael. He is dressed in his morning gown and smoking cap, and 
appears to be very much engaged with his painting. He surveys, in 
different lights, his incompleted work of art, which rests on a small 
easel, and then commences to paint with all the confidence of one of 
the old masters. This is a deservedly popular toy. 

Price, $3.00.

(^fkqdniotlief f\o6kix\^ dfkdle. 




This domestic picture is perfect in miniature. No grandmother, 
with all her experience, ever rocked a cradle more naturally or with 
more tranquilizing effect. While she rocks the cradle with her foot, 
with one hand she fans the infant sleeper, and with the other hand 
wipes her face with the handkerchief, and occasionally turns her 
head and views the situation with approval. 

This is a combination of the toys most coveted by little girls. 

Price, $3.50.

¥he Itkliki\ Of^kq Gfctrtderf, 




This devotee of classical music discourses several popular airs, 
in perfect imitation of his larger brethren. While turning the crank 
he occasionally shakes his head at the monkey which dances upon 
the organ, and frequently passes his little cap for contributions. 
The musical instrument is of the best Swiss manufacture. 

Price. $6.0O.

THE BEST DOLL EVER MADE. 




This unique toy, when wound up, creeps and imitates the move- 
ments of a baby in the most natural manner, moving its hands and 
feet alternately as it passes along, and as it occasionally turns its 
face towards the spectator, the resemblance to life is almost start- 
ling. Delights and pleases both old and young. Durably and 
elegantly made. Each doll is carfully packed in a substantial wooden 
box. Parents and friends of little girls send for one of these delight- 
ful dolls. 

Price, $5,00.
